What is Windchill Workgroup Manager?
Windchill Workgroup Manager is a client-based application developed by PTC that provides a common data link between a supported authoring application and a Windchill server. It features an embedded browser that enables you to access both a local workspace on your client as well as a shared project space on the server.
In order to use Windchill with Cadence Team Design Option, Windchill Workgroup Manager must be installed on your client system and started manually at least once to allow the Cadence Team Design Option application to auto-register itself.
For instructions on how to install and configure Windchill Workgroup Manager, see the Windchill Workgroup Manager Installation Guide.
